Good afternoon readers!
I’m here to type another post again.
Yesterday was an awesome day.
You might be wondering why.
Well it’s my GRADUATION DAY!!!!
Yeah I’m now officially graduated from ITE College East!
I brought my mum along and I am sorry that you have to stand most of the time while traveling to my school.
It’s alright I’ll buy a car next time and ferry you around lol!
Met Fadli in the bus and together we went to Café 1 to find the others who were eating.
To my surprise, all those that were supposed to be eating were LATE! -.-||
Once everyone has arrived, we went up to the auditorium for registration and it was real crowded man!
Miss Preethi, our Class Advisor, was there to congratulate us on our graduation. I didn’t have a chance to pop to her about the chalet.
Man I have been asking her about the class chalet for 2 whole months and yet she still have not given me a reply.
Damn!
My mum was been directed to level 5 to sit with the other parents and for the graduates, level 3.
The ceremony started and some videos were being shown.
The videos were about mostly the pioneers of students that were sited in the hall, including us.
Sad to say, the videos about those in SICT were not as good as those from other schools.
The Principal gave a short speech and was followed by giving out of certificates by each school’s respective Directors.
When my turn arrived, the director talk to me a little and as I look down to position myself and to hold the certificate, the camera snapped and when I collect the photo much later, I was caught looking downwards. -.-||
After my whole class as collected the certificate, which was actually in fact the holder, we got a little bored and started taking pictures. Gabriel, our ex-lecturer also came and joins in the session LOL.
It was great fun taking pictures with everybody. Even Cindy, my ex-life skills teacher and colleague, came and took some with us. Oh yeah she also passed me the school newsletter which I wrote a small article about the Splash competition. After browsing through the newsletter, I saw her name as the editor on the front page!
WOW!
Congratulations for being the editor Cindy!
After the ceremony, most of us went to catch the new Pirates of the
Once the movie ends, all of us went our separate ways.
It was quite good to see everybody again.
Those that went poly, started work, waiting for NS or slacking at home, it was good to know everybody is well.
I’m glad that everybody has move on man. Congratulations to those that are in poly now. Work hard ah!
Also to the rest that are not in poly, it is good that I’ve know you, continue on with whatever you’re doing man.
All the best to everybody!
Also I’ve included the pictures that I’ve took below:

Alright, that’s all for now.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
Hello guys!
Yeah it’s kind of late right now but I just got the urge to post something so here I am typing it out!
Just last week my brother gave me an advanced birthday gift! To my surprised, it was the highly acclaimed game Warcraft 3!
What a good and great brother I have!
I love that little guy man!
Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a brother and such a gift!
I know it’s old and you probably played it to death already, but I did not even touch the game till my brother bought it.
My PC was unable to play 3D games back then (ah…those dark days…lol) so I pass it on. Never will I know I would be blessed 5 years later. Yes you saw it right; this game was launched back in 2002!
Here is the box which I took:
I was really amazed at the game play and the different races in the game. The concept of the game is almost similar to Starcraft, another game by the same maker that I played many years ago.
Blizzard, the maker, is truly a genius when it comes to games. Now I finally understood why World of Warcraft is such a juggernaut in the MMORPG arena. Because it is just too damn fun!
I really hope that I can learn why Blizzard has done and apply it in my future games and company. Truly they started from being nobodies to somebody today.
I went to school today to help out
I help to shoot some videos for their presentation and was pleasantly surprised to see some of my students in the opposite room. I found out they were there for the Bridge Leader interview, some kind of leading club in ITE College East. Interesting.
I had a really fun time with them while shooting the video, many laughing and jokes being exchanged lol.
Oh yeah
I installed it on one of the PC in Sun COT and it was a freaking blast to play!
It is a mixed of RPG and RTS with the Dungeon and Dragons’ universe and story slapped onto it. As I am typing and recalling the game right now, I am suffering from sever cold turkey from not playing the game!
MAN!!!!! I have to wait for my salary to arrive before I am able to purchase it mannnnnn!
Pay day please come quickly man!
Alright, that’s all for today folks!
Thanks for reading and God bless!
Good evening guys!
Yeah I’m here with another post again.
School has been great so far but I still struggle a little sometime in answering the students’ questions.
Cause I’ve slack a little too much and forgotten some stuff.
But it’s ok, I’ll work hard man!
I read and watch everything to do with GTO and was inspired to become a teacher once….yeah just once and doing part time only to see how it works and God literally took that seriously and gave me a chance, which is right now.
Amazing eh?
The method he uses to teach students are very controversial and really challenges the usual education system, but the system really needs to be challenged to reform as it is rotting from the inside out.
Man once you watch it you will get inspired to be a teacher man!
My life back in primary and secondary school wasn’t that enjoyable…so I can understand what the characters in GTO is experiencing…real touching.
If only I had a teacher like that…well it’s ok it’s over now.
I’m very inspired to want to reach out to the students like he does and make school fun, regardless of how bad their past experiences in school is and regardless of their background.
Interesting…who knows this might turn into a full time job in the future…LOL.
In case you do not know what GTO is, you can check it out here:

I’ve just finished watching this anime series called Elfen Lied.
It’s an anime certainly not for the faint of hearts and even not for kids.
It’s a little disturbing due to the blood and gore and also occurring theme in the series: abuse.
It is also heavily filled with nudity scenes.
However despite all those…unhealthy stuff, it is a very touching show.
All those girls in the show…they were seriously hurt from bad past experiences man.
The people that hurt them, sometimes I wondered whether the antagonist has a human conscience at all to carry out those acts.
Those girls that were hurt in the show…I can understand why they did all those things; nobody is born for revenge and hurt but was affected by past experiences.
Another thing would be…how you react to it. You can either react positively or negatively.
Unfortunately…most of them react negatively to it.
It’s sad…that they did not know Jesus and the joy He gave freely.
Otherwise, I guess there wouldn’t be so much hurt and pain in the world.
The plot overall for Elfen Lied is good but the ending is a bit….eh….open, as usual cause they might want to make a sequel for it lol.
The ending song is nice so I’m including it together with this post.
I prayed that those who are in hurt and pain please give others that wants to help a chance to help you….and never think of suicide.
I also pray that all of you reading this…show kindness to everyone you meet; you’ll never know it might just brighten the person up. =)
My C++…well…it’s still in the process, desperately doing my best so that I can learn how to program games and use all those C++ libraries.
Please pray for me and also pray for those who are in hurt and pain to come to Jesus.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
Good evening readers!
It’s been like….almost a month since I last posted anything?!?
Sorry man! I was kind of busy…and in some case…a little lazy to type out a post.
Since today’s a public holiday, I shall update you a little on my life.
I have officially graduated from ITE College East as of 15th April 2007!!!
I received my final GPA on that day and statement of result a few days later. It was a tough semester but I finally made it!
Whew this 2 years spent in ITE was fruitful and blessed.
Learning many new things and excelling in areas unimaginable. Truly God is great!
However…due to NS, I am unable to obtain a deferment anymore, as I used up all of it last time when I retook my O Levels.
It’s a little sad seeing my friends going to poly and furthering their studies while I have to wait another 2-3 years before I enter.
Well…it’s a little blessing in disguise anyway lol.
I have time to prepare my port folio which consists of some games that I am going to program to show to whoever’s in charge of the course that I want to go.
Yes…you read it right…port folio man.
The course that I want to enter (Digital Entertainment Technology) does not allow ITE students to enter just by applying; you need to show them a port folio of your work!
Man…sucks yeah.
But it’s ok; I’ll explore and learn things on my own.
So these 2 months I’ve been like exploring C++ and Java languages, game libraries, game tutorials, game programming forums and keeping a close eye on the game industry.
There are quite a lot of cool happenings in the game industry this last 2 months.
One of the sad things is that the ‘Father’ of Playstation, Ken Kutaragi is retiring. I do not know the exact details but it seems like he was backstabbed in his own company. Can you believe it man.
Read the full article at http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=24620
If it wasn’t for his invention, the Playstation, I would not be even thinking of joining the game industry and working so hard right now to create a port folio.
Good bye Father of Playstation. Many years from now I’ll still remember you for providing me fun and also a career.
Alright now back to what I am currently doing. Well, after being at home for a month and doing my port folio, I’ve gotten a part time job back at the ITE where I graduated! I’ll be assisting the teachers in lessons man!
COOOOOL!
I’ll be helping out in Multimedia Essentials in the day and IT Essentials in the night. I’ll be helping out both Higher NITEC and NITEC classes man!
Sooooo cool! Not only will I get paid, I get to refresh and remember what I learned previously!
LOL!
Truly God is great eh?
Many blessings start to pour right after I finished my building fund.
Christian readers, truly when you built God’s house, He will build your house!
Oh yes I just received a letter not long from CMPB.
I’ve finally been enlisted into the army.
After 20 odd years of waiting, the day has finally arrived!
Ever since I was a kid reading about NS and the likes, I’ve been wondering when the time will come and in the blink of an eye, the day arrives.
I’ll be entering on the 13th July, a Friday the 13th yes, into the 41st Singapore Armoured Regiment.
Some of my friends from ITE are entering too, so thank God at least I have some familiar faces in the army with me.
The future is amazing huh. You never know what will happen next.
Only God knows and He directs your every steps.
I want to see more of God in my life as I continue to move in this thing called time. I do not know what will happen but I’m going to stick around Him, regardless of circumstances.
So Christian readers, I’ll pray for your walk with Him and you pray for me too yeah?
Alright man I’m going to resume my stuff now.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
